Adding two to the thesis proposal haiku collection…

(Thanks Manjari for starting this!) Justified margins clean up the messiest thoughts. At least it looks good. ——————————- My thesis and I have ups and downs, but remain inseparable.

Legal theory isn’t boring!

My doctoral research is about legal theory. It is, of course, about much more than that but – at its core – it is a study in legal theory. Have your eyes glazed over? Have you stopped reading? Do you think I am wasting my time? Do you think I’m wasting your time by telling… Read More Legal theory isn’t boring!

Holiday Letter Four: Wacky Weather

Dear Winter, I know that climate change makes it difficult, if not impossible, for you to make up your mind about how winter will unfold. Cold or mild? Snow boots or galoshes? Puffy coat and ski gloves or mid-weight parka and mittens? Slippery or safe? Outdoor skating or not? Wet or dry wind? So far,… Read More Holiday Letter Four: Wacky Weather

Holiday Letter One: The Inevitable Resolution…

Dear Fate, It’s that time of year again – the beginning, the time to set aspirations for the coming year, the time to reflect and resolve.  As a student, my “new year” usually comes in September.  January 1 is the mid-point, a time to take stock of how the year is unfolding and identify adjustments… Read More Holiday Letter One: The Inevitable Resolution…

Carpe diem & Consequences….in ten sentences

On my second day in Montreal, my parked Ford Taurus was hit by another car, the driver of which was programming her GPS. The cars were totaled, but in both the everyday and grand scheme of things, the accident’s fall-out was minimal: no-one was hurt, we were both insured, and my car was merely a… Read More Carpe diem & Consequences….in ten sentences
